Care StaffOur care staff include qualified nurses and health care assistants. You will find at least one qualified nurse on duty at all times in the Nursing Home and they are ably assisted in their duties by a team of health care assistants. The care staff are the backbone of the organisation; it is they who are most directly responsible for delivering the high quality of care for which Forde Park is renowned. Domestic and Kitchen Staff Domestic staff have a vital role to play in keeping the home a comfortable and clean place for our residents to live. A small army of cleaners and laundry staff work almost around the clock to ensure that hygiene standards are maintained. In the kitchen Mrs Chris Powis, our head chef, together with her team of kitchen assistants ensure that meals served to all our residents are both tasty and nutritious, offer a balanced diet and comply with all dietary requirements.
